"To be safe, well-staffed, well trained, and well-equipped all-volunteer fire department that is a model for other rural communities"
Our Values, What We Believe In and How We Behave
Financially Frugal and Accountable
We pride ourselves on running a great fire department at a very low cost. We are accountable for all our spending, and often volunteer our labor for construction or maintenance projects.
Dedication
We are dedicated and prepared to respond day and night. Volunteer Fire Departments require many hours of service. We spend much additional time training, maintaining equipment and facilities, and participating in meetings, fundraising events and community events.
Quincy Fire Protection District is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Quincy Fire Protection District
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Quincy Fire Protection District has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Quincy Fire Protection District regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found.
Linked Documents and Third Parties
Please note that this site may link out to third-party websites, such as state or federal agencies, that do
not have accessible content. This site may also include documents provided by third parties included in our
agenda packets, for example. While we cannot control the accessibility of content provided by third parties,
we are happy to assist any member of the public with reading and accessing content on our site.
